We’ve stayed at the Bald Knob Farmhouse many times and love it every time. It’s so peaceful and homey and we enjoy just hanging out and spending some quiet time there. Clara is wonderful to work with and we hope to continue visiting many more times in the future.
Two of my adult children and spouses stayed as part of my Christmas gift. Beautiful home, amenities, location. They were so happy and cozy in this 150 year old, thoroughly upfitted farmhouse. The owner was most excellent with communication, making sure everyone had what they needed for a great Christmas! Thank you!
My family of 6 had a wonderful stay at the farmhouse! There was plenty of room for all of us. It is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. If we are back in town at another time we would love to stay there again!
We’ve rented quite a few vacation rentals and this one is pretty much at the top. It was such a great location and the porch is amazing. The house is so well appointed and you can tell it is well loved. We would rent this again for sure. Thank you so much Clara. We had so much fun.
We stayed in the property in September 2024 and the house is a charming farmhouse that is very spacious.
The property owners were extremely kind and stopped in to check in on us during our stay. They are truly good people and we appreciate their thoughtfulness.
This was the second time my family has stayed here. We thoroughly enjoyed it again. It’s a charming old but well maintained farmhouse with a comfortable wrap-around porch in a quiet, remote location. The main street of the small town of Sparta is about 15 minutes away. Highly recommend
We had a great time. The home and grounds are beautiful and give you a nostalgic longing for days gone by. We will definitely be returning for a longer stay. The strawberry rhubarb jam was delicious. Sorry we didn’t get to leave Wendell the whistling whistle pig any jam. 😉
This home is so beautiful and the host ensures you are taken care. The antiques and old restored home is like stepping back in time with all of the modern amenities.
The owners were wonderful to work with. The house was so cute and cozy. Loved sitting out on the front porch and watching the deer and turkeys in the field. Definitely would stay here again!
This house was perfect for our family trip. It was just as listed and perfect. We got to spend time with family and celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas with my Aunt and Uncle that live in Glade Valley. We will rent this house again.
What a great experience !!! Clara was a great host, she left us a jar of her homemade apple butter jam!!!! The Farm house description on line doesn’t give it the justice it deserves!!! Again what a great expieience!!!! I ready to go back again.
We really enjoyed our stay. Our hosts were the best we had ever had.
Many extras were provided. The location was very convenient to our visiting the area. The beds and the house are very comfortable.
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. The location was idea, only 5 miles from downtown Sparta. The farmhouse was furnished with all kitchen necessities. We enjoyed the lovely wrap-around porch every morning/evening. The beds were very comfy, not too soft or firm, just perfect for a good nights sleep. The owner couldn’t have been more accommodating. She even provided us with a cast iron skillet when we inquired about one.
Hope we get a chance to come again!!
Loved the farmhouse! Such a beautiful and peaceful place to unwind. Loved the porch and all the beautiful flowers. Clara was a wonderful host and always there if you needed anything.
Relax and rejuvenate in beautiful country farmhouse
Idyllic setting in beautiful countryside, the house immediately felt like home. Great place to relax and wind down. The house was full of character and charm. Felt like coming home.
We will definitely be back. Loved the property no issues. Nice size rooms. Owners were responsive to any questions. We didnt get there until dark so they did leave the front light on for us which was nice. Loved drinking coffee on the porch.
Beautiful, well-maintained farmhouse with plenty of room
Charming old farmhouse with plenty of large bedrooms and welcoming common spaces, perfect for a family getaway. Super mix of the old and new -- many beautiful old/antique furniture pieces, cozy fireplaces in kitchen and living room, but also new, comfortable beds, an updated shower, TV's in living room and bedrooms and Wi-Fi/Internet. Add in the wonderful, attentive owner/hosts - it felt like staying with family. Couldn't ask for more!
This is my second visit and I wanted to share this precious home with my sisters. We had a girls weekend to unwind and relax by the fireplace. Played our very lively card games at the cute kitchen table and shared memories in the comfy living room. Enjoyed the cute shops in town. Great weekend!!!
We enjoyed the beautiful Farmhouse and found that it was also a convenient location. We have friends in Sparta and other friends came up to enjoy a "friends gathering." Everyone loved the Farmhouse and it was perfect for our needs.
It was a pleasure to meet Clara upon checking in. We enjoyed learning some of the history of the Farmhouse and area from her. We recommend the Farmhouse and hopefully have started a tradition to visit especially for the fall foliage peeping.
